Pretty sure we all thought she was terrible before this, but ok!
Reese Witherspoon was asked about her 2013 drunken arrest for disorderly conduct at the BFI London Film Festival on Monday, and not only did the actress not seemed ashamed about it, it almost seemed like she was happy it happened because it gave her a little edge.
"I think it was a moment where people realized that I wasn't exactly what they thought I was. I guess maybe we all like to define people by the way the media presents them, and I think that I showed I have a complexity that people didn't know about," she explained.
"It's part of human nature. I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. The best you can do is say sorry and learn from it and move on," she added.
The Oscar winner previously apologized for her behavior, and tried to justify her less than stellar conduct. "It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am," she told Us Weekly.
Don't call her America's sweetheart!
